I'm a similar age to Kent and enjoy a beer with mates but I don't remember the last time I got drunk, have been tipsy but generally six beers over several hours at a BBQ does me as I don't like the feeling the next day and don't want to be staggering around looking like an idiot.
I never have like Kent, he comes across as high and mighty who cant do no wrong while ripping into everyone else, if that was a footy player he would be calling for a lengthy suspension and writing about it all week.
Don't like to see anyone out of a job but this bloke need so disappear from our screens, this isn't a one off and it's time for him to learn his drinking limit or go on a booze ban.

Rarely does big posts worth reading....maybe
Wasn't this guy up on domestic violence charges recently? And didn't he get off?
Yeah, definitely doesn't have that in him at all does he...

Rugby league journalist Paul Kent has been stood down from his roles at the Daily Telegraph and Fox Sports after a video posted to social media on Sunday morning showed him in a street fight outside a restaurant in Sydneyās inner west.
A statement from a spokesperson speaking on behalf of both organisations said Kent āhad been stood down pending an immediate investigationā.

Kent was cleared of domestic violence chargesagainst his ex-partner in December last year.
In the video posted to X, the senior writer for The Daily Telegraph and host of Fox Sports show NRL 360 can be seen on the street outside Tottiās Rozelle, engaging in an argument with another man before the fight turns physical.
Kent appears to take his watch off before approaching a man. The two men then begin trading punches.
The sparring sends Kent and the man onto the street, with Kent at one point going head-first into the gutter during the scuffle.
Itās not clear what the dispute was over, but Kent can allegedly be heard calling a man a ādogā and a ādogheadā during the initial argument.
NSW Police confirmed they did not respond to the incident, and were unaware of the video before this masthead contacted the media unit with questions on Sunday morning.
Kent returned to his NRL 360 hosting gig in March after a nine-month absence while he awaited trial on the domestic violence charges.
Kent was accused of attacking his then 33-year-old ex-partner at his home in Lilyfield on May 12 last year, but was found not guilty of common assault, intentionally choking a person without consent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
After a two-day hearing in December, magistrate Daniel Reiss said he could not rely on the complainantās version of events over Kentās.
The woman claimed Kent threw her to the ground after she took his phone off his home office desk, and put his hands around her throat, leaving her with injuries to her neck, arms and hand.
Delivering his judgment, Reiss said the medical evidence provided concluded āno such injuries have been found on the neckā and photographs of her arms were inconclusive.
Outside court in December, Kent told reporters the case had been costly and āa big setbackā, and had ācaused significant reputational damageā.
āIāve been vindicated today. The judge accepted what happened,ā he said.
Kent was contacted for comment.

Kent āvindicatedā after being cleared of domestic violence charges
In regards to the physical āwrestleā, Reiss said it was a case of āone word against anotherā and he was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the alleged assaults occurred.Outside court in December, Kent told reporters the case had been costly and āa big setbackā, and had ācaused significant reputational damageā.
āIāve been vindicated today. The judge accepted what happened,ā he said.
Kent was contacted for comment.
"haven't you ever made a mistake?"Definitely not his go
Haven't you had a brain snap"?
This is a nothing story. In the 70s and 80s this used to go on every weekend down at Manly. I agree he's a probably ****en idiot but come on let's get on down off our high horses. Who hasn't punched on or known someone who punched on after having a few too many? Harmless high jinks. No one was hurt and I'm sure the other bloke would have been mouthing off and being a dickhead.
To use his own argument against him, he is a public figure who is well paid and whether he likes it or not he is representing his employers every time he goes out in public. Especially considering his recent issues he should know better and needs to pull his head in. If I was his employer this would be the final straw.
Well said. Just walk away, unless you r a moron.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
Wow, what a ridiculous view. How many people have been killed from 1 punch that started as āharmless high jinksā ?
Not to mention this blokes high moral standards that he holds players too repeatedly that he and his mates have driven out of the game
God

I'm on it already
100% this
Clearly as a bloke still boozing up in his 50's to the point he is having punch ons would indicate a not very healthy relationship with booze. Also You would have thought that the smart approach for him would be to take a step back in public life (which I know is tough for someone who was not convicted of a crime) for a period of time.
Ridiculous comment. Not at the age of 54 after just beating a DV charge. Especially for a bloke that holds such high moral standards. The bloke is a muppet.
Seriously, Kent is a goose. From the video, he instigates it and escalates it despite guys telling him not to. Typical angry short person complex.
I donāt believe that they have security guards at Tottis in Rozelle, it really isnāt that kind of pub, only ever seen people out enjoying something to eat and drink there. It is right in the middle of houses and doesnāt seem to attract the drunk dickhead element

My sarcasm didn't come through. I was using the excuses they usually make for players when they do something dumb.
I agree he is an angry little man.
